LG UltraGear 27G610A-B: Specs, Features, Pros & Cons
This review measures the LG UltraGear 27G610A-B against the full 41-spec sheet we track for monitors, comparing it like for like with the 69 other models in our database. It earns a VS Score of 35 out of 100 — the weighted result of every verified specification measured against the class average.
On the spec sheet it is strongest in ergonomics & design and weakest in features. Its clearest single advantage over the class average: 0.26 more HDMI ports — 2 vs 1.74 (avg). None of our retail partners currently lists the LG UltraGear 27G610A-B, so availability may be limited; a missing price never affects the VS Score. A transparency note: this spec sheet is 83% complete. Anything unverified shows as Unknown and is left out of the score — we never estimate a missing value.

Editor’s note
The 27G610A-B occupies a useful middle ground between mainstream 165 Hz monitors and more expensive 240 Hz models. Its 27-inch QHD IPS panel runs at 200 Hz, giving competitive games noticeably smoother motion while preserving the sharper desktop space of 1440p. For many midrange PCs, 200 Hz is a more realistic target than 240 or 360 Hz at native resolution.
LG advertises 1 ms response and DisplayHDR 400 support, but buyers should read those as capability labels rather than guarantees of premium HDR. The IPS panel’s native contrast is limited, there is no local dimming, and dark scenes will not resemble OLED or Mini-LED. Overdrive should be adjusted to avoid bright trails, especially when frame rate drops. The matte coating is practical under room lighting.
Two HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort 1.4 input cover a desktop plus consoles, with FreeSync Premium for variable refresh. The stand is unusually flexible at this tier, offering height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustment, and the chassis supports a 100 x 100 mm VESA mount. A headphone output is present, but there is no USB hub, USB-C, speaker system, KVM, webcam, microphone, or Ethernet.
Choose the 27G610A-B for fast QHD gaming on a sensible budget and for users who value an ergonomic stand. Skip it if meaningful HDR, built-in audio, laptop power delivery, or extensive USB connectivity is required. Console buyers should confirm supported resolution and refresh combinations for their system. As always with LG’s similar model names, check that a retailer lists 27G610A-B exactly rather than substituting an older 165 or 180 Hz UltraGear.

How the VS Score works — and what it can’t tell you
Every measurable spec is scored against the average of all the monitors we track: matching the class average scores 50, clearly beating it climbs towards 100, and each spec counts according to an editorial weight that reflects real-world impact — a battery-capacity gap moves the score far more than a colour-options list. The quality bars on the spec cards above show where this model sits inside the full range for its class, and the overall VS Score rolls every weighted result into one number.
Unknown values are never estimated. A spec this product doesn’t report simply drops out of its scoring — it isn’t penalised with a guess — but a thinner spec sheet does mean a score built on fewer data points, which is why completeness is disclosed under About this data.
Most importantly: a spec-sheet lead is not the same as a better product. Megapixels, gigahertz and benchmark points describe capacity, not experience — image processing, software optimisation, thermals, haptics and ergonomics decide how a device actually feels, and no table captures reliability or long-term support quality. Treat the VS Score as a structured summary of what can be measured, not a substitute for your own priorities.
About this data
- Specifications are compiled from each manufacturer’s official spec sheet, cross-checked against trusted specification databases, and normalised into one schema so identical things are compared identically.
- Specifications last verified August 3, 2026.
- Data completeness: 34 of the 41 specs in this category are verified (83%). Anything we could not verify is shown as Unknown — never estimated — and is excluded from the score.
- Prices and availability come from live retailer feeds via our shopping partners and refresh throughout the day; a missing price means no partner currently lists the product, not that it is discontinued.
- Want the full picture? Our editorial guidelines explain how we research products, weight the scores and stay independent.

The bottom line
The LG UltraGear 27G610A-B earns a VS Score of 35, trailing most of the 70 monitors we compare here, at least on the spec sheet. It stands out for 0.26 more HDMI ports, has pivot and has headphone output. Just be aware of 499,871.1 :1 less contrast ratio and 392.42 nits less peak brightness before you buy. Weigh those trade-offs against what matters most to you.
The VS Score is generated automatically from the weighted specifications above, measured against all other monitors in our database. Treat it as a shortlisting guide — not a substitute for your own priorities.
